T oday marks the anniversary of the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, an event which had tragic effects on the Greek community within Cyprus. To remember this day, and to show how the invasion had effects on members within our own Greek community in Kingston, we are presenting a clip from an interview with the Cypriot Andreas Frantzeskos. Here, he speaks about needing to leave Cyrpus to come to Canada following the invasion.
